Shell Motel Hollywood 1201 South Federal Highway, Hollywood, FL 33020

"My flight got canceled and I was in a pinch for a cheap place to stay that wasn’t going to have me end up in a sketchy location or get me infested with bed bugs. I got a room with my buddy for the cheapest price around town(checking well over 20 different hotels/motels) and this place exceeded all my expectations. The room was very well kept, maybe a little outdated but still met every need I could have imagined. It was a little hot in the room when we got there because the AC was off but it really only took 10-15 minutes to have the room at perfect temperature. The beds look clean and the outlets and water work well. The owner was super fun and friendly and I would recommend this motel to anyone in need of a place to stay!"

"Can't speak of "high speed wifi" since it wasn't good enough to post this review, had to switch to mobile data. Parking is very limited and I honestly don't know where to park if the few parking spaces are already full."

"A nicely maintained older motel, and very clean. My unit was poolside with a queen bed, good size fridge/freezer (larger than most hotels), microwave, a small table with 2 chairs, dresser, bedside table, small bathroom, and it's own air conditioning unit. A phone was available in the room, but I didn't see a charging station. WiFi service was good, plus cable tv had many channels. The pool area is a fantastic place to gather or relax, with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs, a grill, and heated pool. The brothers who own and operate this motel are very friendly and accommodating, as are their cleaning staff. I was helped in with my bags and given tips for food and shopping within walking distance. Great location, which is surrounded by a good variety of restaurants (some within walking distance) and is close to Hollywood Beach. Parking is available along the building, and was a short walk to my room. My only suggestion would be for new pillows. Overall a good experience, good value, and convenient location. I would definitely return. Merci!"

"Great management, we felt very much at home at Shell Motel! Super fun, friendly and familiar management and staff, we got plenty of tips for our stay/excursions in the area. Rooms are very clean and comfy, the pool area and garden well kempt. You get everything you need, there's also plenty of outdoor seating and two grills to use! Parking available on site, prices very reasonable for the area. Strongly recommend!"

"Shell is a hidden gem. This 1950’s motel has several white glove awards. It’s owned by two friendly French speaking brothers who take pride in the place and enjoy interacting with their customers. There is 2 buildings. My room was next to the pool. My room had a keyed lock and deadbolt. The beds were comfortable (although a tad hard). I appreciated the mini fridge and microwave that were in the room. There is an European market 1 block away. There isn’t a coffee maker in the room. Their small pool was heated and nice to lounge in and by. Prices were similar to other hotels in the area and they provided free parking, which can save you up to $25 a night over other hotels nearby. The location felt safe. It was on highway 1 so it was easy to get to food, to the beach or other places of interest. As a solo traveler I felt welcomed and safe. This is a great place."
